Species code:	LEGPH
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Legionellales; Legionellaceae; Legionella (TaxID: 272624) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Legionella pneumophila is the causative agent of the Legionnaires' disease, a potential fatal pneumonia. It was isolated after an outbreak of pneumonia at an American legion convention in Philadelphia. The strain Philadelphia 1 is derived from the original 1976 isolate. Legionella pneumophila is found in biofilms and fresh and industrial water systems worldwide. It can survive and replicate intracellularly in free-living protozoa, often in aquatic biofilms.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: Yes Interaction: Animal pathogen in Mammalia Number of membranes: 2 Number of inteins:0
Statistics:	Number of LEGPH entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 2930 (365 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 2565 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)

Genome structure:	Chromosome EMBL accession number AE017354 (circular; 3,397,754 bp) (download entry) (download Genome Reviews).
